As you can see they have some of the basic Alien Warriors that will be hunting you through tight starships floating through space. The hunted take the form of some Weyland Commandos but I wouldn’t put it past them to be able to hold their own.

I’m not so sure of their reaction when they came up against these Predator Hounds though, I reckon I’d run. Certainly some promising renders as AvP comes ever closer.

From what I have seen the models certainly look the part, particularly the Xenomorph and Predator ranges. Not knowing anything about the rules and game mechanics, I can’t venture an opinion on how well the feel of an encounter with some of cinemas deadliest species has been captured. Still, it’s definitely one to watch.

I would make one recommendation to Prodos Games however; casualty markers. Just magine the potential for models showing Colonial Marines, Corporate Commandoes or colonists that have been attacked by facehuggers or cocooned inside a Hive, and more that have recently said fair well to a chestburster. Then there is the option for those individuals who, like Blain in the original Predator movie, have had an unfortunate encounter with a shoulder cannon blast, or have bee skinned and hanged by their ankes from trees.

Just remember; a day in the Marine Corp is like a day on a (hideously violent and terror-inducing) farm…

Simply couldn’t pledge for this. Love Alien, love Predator, love the mini’s but first they said there would be a rules video, then they said there wouldn’t. No rules=No game for me. I emailed them personally and their reply was basically would you rather have us spend time writing rules or updating the kickstarter!!! Erm, I would have liked the rules to be well in hand before kickstarting occurred actually! If the game’s there I might well pick some bits up on release though.

I pledged for the Hunt Begins board game. KS backers get an exclusive version of the game with high quality multi part models. There will be an unlimited edition retail version released later in the year. The rules are d20 based, I wonder if the rules could be similar to Warzone Resurrection. Not sure if the board game rules will be the same as the tabletop game, but I think they will be. I did get an update recently showing previews of the markers to be used in game. Prodos look to be aiming to deliver to backers during the summer. Fingers crossed as I can’t wait to play this.
